Transformation Station

During the Transformation Station Scans project we would like to introduce directions of research currently being done, present activities in the field of culture, and enliven the discussion on the topic. The idea behind the series of lectures and meetings is the recognition of young research community in Tricity. Invited scientists — both beginners and experienced ones — will help us show interesting areas and attitudes which might become linked with the field of arts in the near future. Under the premise of interdisciplinarity of arts and culture research, we decided to present the achievements of both practitioners and theorists. Therefore we invited architects, art historians and sociologists dealing with art criticism, cultural policies and urban space issues, such as its revitalisation, aesthetics and cultural significance. Most of all we hope that Transformation Station Scans project will awaken an urge to discover, and will encourage all the people concerned to look closer at the areas of artistic and cultural activities in Tricity.
